I'm also having real problems with rules lately.  I absolutely have not 
been able to add rules that work, although most of my old rules seem to 
work.  I'd be *very, very* grateful if someone could post a HOWTO about 
rule debugging.

My previous approach was to make rules that would set flags, so that I 
could interactively tell if they were working, but now I have been 
having problems where rules will stop working when I add a conjunct, and 
not restore operation when I remove it.

Are there files that we can examine to get a sense of what might be 
going wrong? Am I right in thinking that the `Mailboxes.plist` file in 
`~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/` is where all the rules are 
stored?

Is there some logging we could turn on to see when rules succeed at 
matching or fail?

Thanks!
